When you have cancer, an injury, or another condition that affects the appearance or function of your face, skull, scalp, or neck, you may need a plastic and reconstructive surgeon to restore a natural appearance and function. Your surgeon will use skills with tissue rearrangement, microsurgery, and bony fixation to optimize your recovery.

Common head and neck conditions treated by plastic and reconstructive surgeons at St. Luke's include: facial fractures, broken nose, facial lacerations, facial nerve injury and paralysis, ear trauma or congenital differences, skin cancer, and reconstruction of defects following removal of cancer.
